    For some people the confrontation is exhilarating because it's very low stakes. Yelling at someone online is low risk and they can't really beat you up or anything. You don't actually have to sit face-to-face with them so there's way less social anxiety for the scolds. They get a rush out of it from what I saw in another thread with them bragging about owning people. It's purely masturbatory in that way rather than trying to create a productive conversation. They get to feel confrontational and radical by owning the dummies but without all the nasty interpersonal things that go along with it. They'll swear they're just as confrontational offline too but we all know that's not true otherwise they wouldn't do this. They would have that outlet.

      What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little libnerd? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in shitposting, and I've been involved in numerous struggle sessions, and I have over 300 confirmed permabans. I am trained in nuclear takes and I'm the top poster in the entire webosphere. You are nothing to me but just another liberal. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of activists across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, gusano. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, anarkiddo. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can own you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my autoreplies. Not only am I extensively trained in dialectics, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the pirate bay and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.
